• The results are roughly independent of the interaction used: KH, CD-Bonn, etc.
• One possibility is the mixing of states 6+ with different seniorites, but requires too large change of the realistic interaction Is not the case
• Seniority mixing with g9/2 seniority isomers also for the first g9/2
( neutrons: 70Ni - 76Ni, protons: 92Mo - 98Cd)

The only way to include in a standard shell-model calculation (ANTOINE, NATHAN) the effective 3-body force and 2-body operators is to diagonalize usign the dressed wave function. Expectation value of the Hamiltonian and of the transition operators is calculated directly between the dressed wave functions, thus also including the many-body terms otherwise neglected.

• Experiment with radioactive beam, with the in-flight technique. Several experimental challenges overcome.
• The neutron-rich region along Z = 82 was populated, enabling to study the nuclear structure in this region up to now unknown due to experimental difficulties
• The observed shell structure seems to follow a seniority scheme. However, a closer look reveals that the B(E2) values have an unexpected behaviour. B(E2) values are a sensitive probe to understand in detail the features of the nuclear force The mechanism of effective 3-body forces is general, and could be relevant also for other parts of the nuclide chart.
• Puzzle of the 210Hg Need of further studies
• Many more isomers: 217Bi, 211-213Tl, 213Pb and remeasured: 208Hg

• Mixing between one ν=2 and two ν=4 states in 212,214Pb. The quadrupole matrix element to ν=4 states is more than five times the one to ν=2, and opposite in sign
• Even a small mixing (few %) would be enough to correct the B(E2) value for 212Pb
• One possibility is the mixing of states (6+) with seniority 4: need to modify the interaction

Building up collectivity
Quadrupole deformation can be generated by using a quadrupole force with the central field in the subspace spanned by a sequence of j = 2 orbits that come lowest by the spin-orbit splitting representing this relevant subspace a quasi-SU3. In the Cr region it happens something similar to what happens in the Island of inversion 32Mg.

Nucleons in a valence jn configuration behave according to a seniority scheme: the states can be labelled by their seniority ν
For even-even nuclei, the 0+ ground state has seniority ν = 0, while the 2+, 4+, 6+, 8+ states have ν = 2
In a pure seniority scheme, the relative level energies do not depend on the number of particles in the shell j

Theory of effective interactions
Instead of applying the perturbation theory to the operators involved in the problems, it is the wave function that is developed in a perturbative
manner. The idea is to start from a bare many-body state and then dress it, giving origin to a quasiconguration.

In una singola j-shell la seniorità si mescola solo se si mescolano le seniorità 1 e 3. Tuttavia nelle j-shell minori di 9/2 è impossibile avere due stati con lo stesso momento angolare e seniorità 1 e 3, per cui non ci può essere mescolamento fra queste due seniorità e quindi fra nessuna seniorità sotto j=9/2.
